BMW Car Club Track Days = bonus track time

Greg ReillyBMW Car Club Gauteng, Special Events, Track Day
The BMW Car Club Gauteng track days have earned a reputation for being professionally run, well attended and most importantly tons of fun. In a strategic shift, these days are being opened up to the greater South African Motorsport fraternity. BMW Car Club Gauteng
During our time trial sessions, we have created a dedicated session for saloon cars that are race prepared or compete in a club, regional or national category. Overtaking in corners is allowed, as is defending your racing line. The only prohibition is contact between cars which will result in a black flag and a visit to the CoC for all drivers involved in an incident. We provide the transponder, or you can use your own if you wish. Passengers are allowed in these sessions as long as they are clothed in long pants, long sleeves, a helmet and gloves.
Typical track time will be 2 hours that is spread over the day. You are also automatically entered into the Time Attack Top 10 shootout, as long as you make the cut of course. At the end of the day, we take the 10 fastest cars of the day and time them from a standing start to the finish line. Trophies and bragging rights are up for grabs.
This is a great opportunity to get some extra track time with the benefit of a simulated race environment to hone your skills. It also provides a unique yard stick to compare your car with different drivers and cars from different formulas. With passengers being allowed, it gives you a chance to treat your sponsors, friends and families to hot laps around the circuits in your race car.
